She had been a witch doctor for nearly two decades. Families came to her for curses, for spells, for power. But when two visitors stepped into her home, something unseen confronted her—and everything changed in a single moment.

For 17 years, Yumna had built her reputation in the town where she lived. She practiced dark rituals, placing objects in the mouths of the dead to curse families, creating fear, and binding people in superstition.

Her nephew, a quiet believer, often sent her Bible verses and she rejected them, sometimes with hostility. But behind the scenes, others were praying for her—asking God to break through.

Although she sought respect and influence through her practice, on the inside she was burdened. Yumna was aware of the death and destruction her work brought, but felt powerless to stop it.

Her nephew eventually stopped pressing verses on her. Every attempt only hardened her further. So the years piled on and nothing seemed like it would ever change.

One day, a church planter was in town, starting small Bible reading groups with an app called Waha. In a meeting with Yumna’s nephew he said, “Let’s go visit your aunt—the one you’ve been praying for.” It wasn’t a planned evangelistic meeting. Just a visit.

But when they stepped into her house, something shifted.

Before anyone said a word, she collapsed to her knees, sobbing.

“I know I’ve been in the wrong,” she confessed. “All those verses you sent me—I see them now. For years I thought I was helping people, but I’ve been bringing death.” She began describing the things she had done. With tears still streaming down her face, she said, “I need the forgiveness of God.”

That day, she gave her life to Jesus. Immediately, she declared that she would go to all her former clients, repent, and tell them about the hope of Christ. Since then, many churches have been planted in her village.

Seventeen years of darkness ended in a moment—and her story became a light to many who had once sought her curses.
